Bio:

Great White is an American hard rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 1977. The band gained popularity during the 1980s and early 1990s. The band released several albums in the late 1980s and gained airplay on MTV with music videos for songs like "Once Bitten, Twice Shy". The band reached their peak popularity with the album ...Twice Shy in 1989.The band continued to release new material into the 1990s, although none of their material charted in the United States. In 2003, the band made headlines when The Station nightclub fire led to the deaths of 100 people in West Warwick, Rhode Island, including the band's guitarist Ty Longley, who had been a member of Jack Russell's solo band.In 2011 the band split with Jack Russell forming "Great White Featuring Jack Russell" and Terry Ilous fronted Great White. As of August 2007, Great White sold over 8 million records worldwide.In 2008, bassist Sean McNabb left Great White to concentrate on a career in theater and acting. McNabb was promptly replaced with Scott Snyder (Ramos, Accomplice).McNabb is now a member of Dokken.Great White released their latest album, Rising, on 13 March 2009 in Europe via Frontiers Records and on 21 April in the US.In 2010, Jani Lane of Warrant filled in for Jack Russell, while Russell recuperated from surgery after suffering a perforated bowel. Terry Ilous (XYZ) replaced Jack Russell at the Coach House during the summer of 2010 and Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt, Quiet Riot, King Kobra) filled in for Russell when Great White performed at Stockholm Rock Out Festival in September.In December 2011, Jack Russell, having recovered from his health issues, formed a new incarnation of Great White with a brand-new lineup under the name of "Jack Russell's Great White."The other band members have voiced their strong objection to this move and said that "Jack Russell does not have the right to start his own Great White or use the name without our names in the lineup. We will litigate any promoter that books ‘Jack Russell's Great White’ or uses any logo featuring the name Great White.". In September 2013, the courts finally reached a decision declaring that legally Jack Russell can tour, and use the name "Jack Russell's Great White" with his own band; while the other original members along with new lead singer Terry Ilous [XYZ], will continue to use the official name "Great White".On 18 March 2012 Great White announced their first new album with singer Terry Ilous,Elation, to be released in May that year, as well as a live album ( Great White: 30 years - Live On the Sunset Strip), and concert DVD of the band's 30th-anniversary show at the Key Club in Hollywood on 22 March.In July 2013 Bassist Dario Seixas left "Jack Russell's Great White" and was replaced by former bassist Tony Montana.Lorne Black, the former bassist of Great White, died on September 27, 2013.In early 2014, Tony Montana moved to guitar, and was replaced at bass by Chris Tristram.

Album:

Another very good GREAT WHITE album reissued on SHM-CD / remastered by Universal Japan is the polished "Hooked", including 4 bonus tracks.This is a fresh EAC copy, as previously we featured the album here with some skips / error. Additionally, there's all artwork now.Brilliantly produced by Alan Niven and Michael Lardie, "Hooked" is the best sounding Great White album in my humble opinion. Musically it's also the most varied in the band's history.To their characteristic bluesy hard rock Great White added this time some kind of a stadium vibe, trying to capitalize Damn Yankees' success, I guess. Just listen 'The Original Queen Of Sheba' (a highlight).This is true rockin' album, but, also shows how much Great White had grown.When it was released (1991) right in the middle of the alternative phase-in / Hairbands phase-out period, I was surprised how diverse "Hooked" was. There were the typical straight-forward rockers like 'Call It Rock N' Roll', 'Desert Moon' or the catchy 'Can't Shake It', but there was more.'Lovin Kind' has a piano line which move towards more acoustic guitars and solid songwriting essence, proving that Great White did not wanted to a be a one trick pony. Then 'South Bay Cities' is unbelievably bright and refreshing.'Heartbreaker' is a hard rocker, yes, but with a different approach. It's a long, elaborated grower of a song with terrific harmonies and some kind of special atmosphere. Then 'Afterglow' is another fine ballad from Great White, crafted in the way they only can.This Japanese edition of "Hooked" on SHM-CD not only sounds superb (great remaster) but also includes 4 bonus tracks, all covers from the likes of Savoy Brown, Dr. Feelgood, etc, providing even more variation.These low-priced reissue series are great to get High Quality discs at regular price tag.
